The management of all hosting-related factors is conducted using a software tool called ‘Control Panel’. There are several brand names which provide more or less functions, but in general, they all allow you to control site files, to set up e-mail addresses and databases, to see account usage stats or what amount of traffic your site visitors have generated. You'll be able to carry out these actions via buttons and menus, and you shall feel like you’re managing your own computer or notebook. The billing part is usually addressed from a separate system, which may include domain name registrations also - if the company provides this kind of services. Sometimes, trouble tickets can be opened usingthe same system, while in others, this could be done via a different support interface, so you may find yourself working with 3 user interfaces with a single website hosting account.
